    Kettle not draining below valve level

    I'll try that. Had merely placed pot in utility sink to fill with water for leak test. I'll take it out to back patio and test on the table I'll be brewing on via induction plate. Thanks

    Kettle not draining below valve level

    Happy Thanksgiving to all! I decided to set up a 20 qt ss stockpot for extract brewing for days I don't have time for all grain ( and the fact that local brew supply store closed so no source for grain in town). Used a 7/8 inch hole saw and have a leakless valve installation, but the downtube is...

    Maytag Model MFF2558VEM10 are there coolant lines on right side?

    That is the inside liner for the fridge part. The thermostat controls are on top, and those are wires running somewhat close to the right front edge near door. That is the ONLY schematic I have found showing anything . Thanks for the advise. Once the freezer is empty and nothing remains in...

    Maytag Model MFF2558VEM10 are there coolant lines on right side?

    Greetings all, I've searching online and called Maytag and have not found any info regarding the placement of coolant lines on the fridge I bought second hand for the garage. My old fridge keg set up died several years ago and I'd like to set this one up with 3 taps on the door and run the CO2...

    Whirlpool ED27DQ question on coolant lines

    Thanks for the link, think I bought stuff from them in the past to repair another fridge and icemaker. The schematics were not much help, but I did a chat with the folks there and was advised that all coolant lines are under and in back wall, nothing is in fridge side wall. Course I'll still...

    Whirlpool ED27DQ question on coolant lines

    Greeting All, I've converted a Whirlpool ED27DQ side by side to a 3 tap kegerator. I just got a new regulator with dual gauges so I can run different pressures to diff kegs if desired. I'd like to keep the CO2 and gauges on the outside of fridge to store more beer inside and keep gauges from...

    Pleiades Honey Platinum Blonde Bombshell....what do you think?

    This recipe is big for a non IPA. 7 lb 10 oz 2 row, 1 lb honey malt, 5 lbs honey, 1 oz German Mandarina Bavarian hop for 60 min to bitter, 1 oz same hop for 1 minute for aroma. Mash efficiency extremely high, 7.5 gallon preboil at 1.040, after boiling with honey addition at 45 minute mark, 6...

    Drip tray magnet mount...using driptray holes??

    Hello everyone, I was eyeballing a 14 x 6 wall mounted drip tray that had holes to hang on screw. Has anyone tried attaching the tray with machine screws and nuts to the earth magnets instead of gluing magnets to tray? I'm thinking if the screws were a tad loose, the tray could be...

    Cleaning new keg set up

    Thanks, it is all brand new equipment. I'll just measure and cut the tubing to make the 3 pair of hose sets. I've been told 9 feet of the barrier beerline is good for the perlick 630 faucets.

    Cleaning new keg set up

    I've been using the same old picnic tap forever and recently invested in the equipment to make a 3 tap keggerator from a fridge. Do I have to preclean the ball lock fittings, faucets, shanks, and hoses, or just run sanitizer though system via keg with some starsan ? Thanks

    Cold Crashing, or should I say Cold Easing?

    I think the high heat on the back patio plus the freezer door not properly sealing is part of the problem. It has been running in the 90s. I vaced the coolant lines under the unit which were pretty dirty, but can't get temps below 47. Going to install blue foam board in freezer and caulk gaps to...
